IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: • RESIN SAFETY | Importa...

Why do I use two different types of resin in my projects?
I use a casting resin to cast and a doming resin for doming.
Casting resin is usually low in viscosity and works very well in molds without much issue with the bubbles. Also the low viscosity will allow the resin to reach detailed area of the mold. Doming resin is thick in viscosity and holds its shape very nicely. It creates a full dome and tends to hold the surface tension much better than low viscosity resin. So lower risk of the resin dripping off the sides. It also gives the piece a smooth, flawless finish.

![58] RESIN : Getting a DOMED flawless FINISH on Pieces from a MOLD or taped Fluid art](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/r1-q060syQU/mqdefault.jpg)
Just to make it clear, its best to avoid molds with sharp angles but nowadays, it’s getting harder to find cute molds without them. So just keep in mind the latex may be the best option to make them work!
Only just found your channel and I love that your intro is getting safety gear!
Thank you!
Resin is so dangerous when not using safety gear!
So many CZcamsrs won't even use a mask or gloves and will just say oh don't do what I do. That's not good enough!
This is how an experienced professional speak when they know what they are doing.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
I find liquid latex more of a precaution for mistakes especially for trickier pieces. Apart from that i thought everything else you mentioned was extremely helpful! 😊

THANK YOU!!! I've been wondering why I get blemishes. It's been so frustrating because I get the dome perfect otherwise. Going to get doming resin now!
The turn table is genius!!! I usually just turn my mat but this table thing is so much better 😄 definitely going to buy one!
I'm going around my work table lol I guess I need to get a turn table too
I searched endlessly for a video that covered the things that I was having trouble with. Thank you so much this was very helpful
Thank you so much! You made everything very easy to understand:) I just domed my first pieces last night and didn’t know about most of these
This video shows so much passion for the craft. Love it ❤️
your account is the main account i follow for resin RULES and SOP. the rest seems TOO d.i.y. and yours is the only PROFESSIONAL-sounding one. i admire the non-boring way you talk through your videos as well. i never skip ads in your videos because you deserve monetization for all the knowledge you share with us here. i hope to watch more videos from you 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the comment!Very encouraging 😀
@@AmyMade you noticed meee 😭💖 looking forward to new videos 💜
Thanks so much Amy for these tips because I have made these mistake more than one time trying to rush and finish a piece
Thank you Amy for sharing all these useful tips 💓
Thank you, very good advice. I am new to this and tried to use UV resin to dome some small pieces, one was a shaker and the resin started to set every time, even though I was indoors and did not have the UV lamp on.
This is incredibly helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
This was really helpful. I'm new and have made every single one of these mistakes. Maybe now things will turn out! Thank you so much.
I am also new and have made every mistake possible at this point lol
I just found your channel and I’ve learnt so much, it’s was how to dome that I was having problems with.
Thankyou so much
Thank you for this guide! Very useful for beginners too!
Thank you your information is always so useful!😊❤
This was very helpful. Thank you so much!
always the best tips! thank you amy.
Great video. I'm looking to do this on dive watch bezel inserts. Thanks for the useful info 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this!! It was really helpful!! I need more practice! 😁
Excellent video, very clear and helpful, all makes sense
I'm about to start experimenting with UV doming resin. I had no idea that it needed to rest before curing. It also never occurred to me to doming resting for coasters, I can't wait to experiment with that!
Kaleiope Studio only if you want a flawless finish on the dome surface
Finally found why I get amine blushing! THANK YOU!
Another great video! Thanks Amy!
Thank you for such informative and helpful tips
This video was so detailed and fantastic
I’ve got so many things to try now 😍
Great tips from a pro!! I love your voice inflection.
So helpful!! Thank you 🙏🏻 💕
Very helpful! Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of making milds, do you know if there are technical specifications for this process (i.e. minimum angles, minimum radiuses, etc.) and where I can find them?
Ahhh no wonder i get these problems at the finishing ty Amy , give that uv resin a try and the epoxy resin.
thank you for sharing!
Great tips-thank you!
So useful, thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very good explaination
great advice!
Thanks for this video 🙂
Thank you thank you thank youuu!!! 💖💖💖
Thanks for the great tips
Great information 🤗
Thank you so much
Very helpful thanks😊
Thanks for the video wow very interesting 🥰💯🌷
Super helpful video
Hi Thanks for Great tips:). My resting gets very thick immediately after mixing. Pls tell me why? Thanks.
Super helpful thank you! 💖 Do you find this brand of UV resin yellows after time?
I have some pieces I casted about a year ago and they’re not yellow at all
Thank you. Where is the link for the craft tool that you said you would lik down below ?
Can I ask where you bought the silicone mat at 1:59? 💕 Thanks for the tips!!
1:59 what’s the thing calling on which u put and dome resin the pointy thing?
Thanks alot😊😊
I wanted to make a shaker with a hexagon coaster so being that it's not rounded I'll have problems?
Thanks for this wonderful tips. ❤️ Will use it.
Do u have video on that respirators...like when to remove the filters & the way which u dispose used resin bottles, mixing cups or wipes. If you can do a video about that too..it will be helpful ☺️
Thanks! Follow the directions per the respirator you have. Resin bottles, mixing cups can be recycled if they’re plastic. Just make sure to clean any resin residue that’s on there with alcohol. Wipes can go in the trash.
Helpful ty~
I'm new to working with UV resing and I was wondering what safety gear you use?
Hi! Love ur video!! I have problem with uv resin, idk why but the end result always a little bit tacky so i always hv to use nail polish for te end layer. Can u give some tips?
Your light source is not strong enough. What brand are you using
i only ever use liquid latex if i am doing like sharp pieces like i can get a full dome on those but i put it on like the center of the heart or if its got those weird spots where resin can drip in just in case round things i usually never do latex
I think it’s hard to avoid pieces with sharp corners nowadays. With so many mold makers.
Great video do u have a nike logo mold? Thank u
Can we use fevicol glue instead of liquid latex ?
I don’t know if you have a video out over which resin you’re using when but that would be really helpful just to know which one is necessarily used for casting and which one is used for dome’n and the period of time you know you’ve waited between using both if any
I have this exact explanation and links to which ones I use in the description box 👇
What’s the metal tool used to spread the resin?
Do you have any idea why I am getting the blushing patches on UV resin when I dome please? X
Thank you for this video!! I thought I was putting too much resin, but now I realize the dripping was only happening in bear and heart shaped designs. I guess I'll try the latex tip... I was trying to use baby oil and vaseline to prevent the resin from sticking but it wasn't working out 😂😂😂
Yea totally! It’s almost impossible to avoid cute molds with sharp angles so..I guess latex would be the next best thing to make it work
@@AmyMade I had to come back to tell you what happened! I've had to re-dome 3 resin shakers and it's a little bit hard to find liquid latex where I live, so I improvised with a latex I used to use in watercolor paint (I have no ideia how it's called in english). I was so afraid to ruin more shakers but I had to try. I worked out perfectly!!! I can't believe it!! Only one of the three shakers has spilled, what also helped was to let my resin to rest for 10-15min before applying (I use low density resin). I soooo grateful for this video, you have no ideia how many times I've ruined my resin shakers, I was really struggling with it 😅😅 but now I won't anymore because of you!! thank you!! 💜
I hope I can be heir to your skills in this. I eeally wanna do this kind of business 💕
Very helpful tips, thank you. 🥰 Where do you get your light purple gloves from? 😀
They are from colortrak but this color is limited edition so they don’t sell them anymore 😭
AmyMade that’s too bad they are so cool looking!!
Im getting swirly texture while doming with epoxy resin. How to stop it?
Could be the resin itself. It’s not designed for coating/doming
Hi there, do I have to wait for resin to fully cure before I can dome it? Or can I dome it when it has become solid? Say 12 hours down for a 24 hour curing resin
You can dome it during the soft cure stage. However keep in mind whatever you use under the piece (doming mat, liners etc) may leave an imprint of the texture of the surface onto the resin.
Do you have any recommendations for how to get a drip off that was cured with UV resin? It's already hardened, but I wasn't sure if I could sand it down, possibly?
Once cured, only sanding will remove it
Thank you so much ☺️
I just want to ask if I can dome 2 part resin with uv resin ?
You can. But not for liquid shakers since uv resin will not give you a strong bond that a liquid shaker needs
@@AmyMade I'm SUPER new to all this. Haven't bought a thing, yet, but my Q is what is liquid shaker? I want to start buying everything I need to start doing resin. I will keep in mind that 2 part resin is good for liquid shaker, but I don't even know what that means, hahaha! I'm even going to get into big projects like dying resin and doing marbled tables. Thank you for your videos, your responses, and your patience.
They’re charms with liquid and inclusions inside. Try searching liquid shaker charms on CZcams and google and you’ll see tons of content and photos. They will give you an idea what they look like
This is a great video. I do have a question though. I've seen so many people who make letter keychains with the alphabet molds and a lot of the letters have sharp corners so how are they getting them domed without overspill or the resin pulling away from the sharp corners? In the videos I've watched their letters look perfectly domed and I've seen some people use UV Resin but I've seen a great many who use 2 part resin that has to sit and cure.
Thank you. By sharp corner, I mean less than 45 degrees. I should’ve said acute angles instead. Even those alphabet molds…the very end of the points are still slightly rounded.
@@AmyMade Thanks so much for such a fast reply Amy. I really appreciate it. For myself, I have not had very good luck with some of the letter. The W, M, N. They all have really shar points and it seems like the resin will not go to the edges and stay there. If you try to add more it will just spill over somewhere else. Not even sure what resin would be the best option. I have 2 different alphabet molds, same problem. One is the standard reverse, or backward facing letters and the other one is also backward facing but the letters are taller and have the little silicone post that leaves the hole for your jump ring.
Is your resin thick or thin? Thicker resin work much better for doming.
Can any one help me , please 🙏
I am new to resin art and i was doming my key chain letters , with UV resin and curing for more than hour or two , but for some reason they was still sticky to touch , to the point I was leaving finger prints which wouldn't disappear 😢
How long I should cure doming layer ? What do I do wrong ? Is it type of UV resin that's not suitable for doming ? Thanks in advance for help❤
Ps. Sorry for any mistakes in english , as it’s not my mother language
After viewing your videos, I started playing with UV resin! Your videos are so helpful and I love the little cute stuffs you made!🥰🥰
One problem I’m facing now is that my surface is not perfect. It always have the little bubbles or bumpy texture (like mistake 4.) 😢 On the mistake 4, do you suggest let it rest for 5-10 minutes before using the UV light? I tried to use toothpicks, heat gun, and lighter to remove the little bubbles, but still can’t get a perfect surface. What should I do to make it right? Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Yes! As suggested in the video, let it rest.
@@AmyMade Thank you Amy!! It does work!! One more question, after I finished one side and flipped to do the other side, the resin would drop to the bottom side and messed up the side that’s finished. 😂 Is there any way to avoid resin dropping to the bottom side?
I’ve done a couple of them like that... Do you know how to fix the side that’s been messed up with resin?🤷♀️
Can I dome my liquid shaker charms with uv resin ? Like a thin layer ?
Watch my how to fill and seal resin. Shaker video!
Great tips. Thanks! (Nematodes!)
I mostly used UV resin after cured , why the surface was sticky ? Do you have any idea for that ? Thank you .
You didn’t cure it enough. Either your light source is not strong enough or you didn’t leave it to cure long enough
AmyMade Thank You for your reply .
Ok i can dome perfectly but how do you do the sides?
If the sides are flat, you do the same
when can i start doming? should i wait 24 hours cure or before that? Thank you, i would really appreciate your response.
You don’t have to wait 24 hours. You can start doming as soon as you’re able to get your pieces out of the mold
Did you buy your turntable off Amazon? I’d love to know what to search for, I just keep getting old record player things 😂
This one in particular I got from a dollar store. But I also got some on Amazon called the cookie turntable
how did you make or get the bt21 resin charm additives?
I have a whole video on a how I made that specific shaker!
Is it natural for doming resin to have a more rubbery feel or is it some kind of mistake I'm making. (Im using a 2 part resin)
Thank you
It shouldn’t be rubbery. Perhaps you didn’t measure and/or mix properly
Reminds me of flooding a cookie with icing.
Can anyone help me out? My UV resin comes out sticky. Ive cured it under the uv light for a couple of rounds, ive left them out in the sun and ive tried rubbing alcohol and yet its still tacky. What do I do?
I have a video on that topic in my shorts
What tool do you use to spread the resin?
I used the stir stick
I still don't understand what the liquid latex is used for. Is it put on the edges to prevent drips?
To protect the sides and the backside from the potential spilled/dripped resin
@@AmyMade ah, ok. I think I get it now. Thank you for replying!
Any chance you make shaker phone cases?
Jezidca I did make one. Gumball machine one and made a video on it too
You can dome more than flat pieces. You just have to tape it off or use liquid latex around it.
Hi, I tried the dome technique for one of my art piece and one of the corner the resin did not go to the edge. How to avoid that? Any suggestions? Entire piece looks good except one side the resin did not flow all the way to the edge leave small gap between edge and the remaining part.
Did you follow all the tips? Is your art piece completely flat?
@@AmyMade Unfortunately came to see this after I ran into the issue. Anyway to salvage it? Yes. my art piece is 3d but on a super flat surface.
You can try adding a new layer of resin over it. Sometimes adding not enough resin can cause the resin to pull away from the corners too
Thanks will do
What the difference between the resins that you used? can I just buy only one of them and it will be enough? (sorry English not my first language)
Hi . I explain it in the description box!👍🏻
@@AmyMade thank you 💗💗
what if i dont have a silicone mat?
You can buy one?
Hi! I just have a small question about UV resin. I've noticed recently that anytime I use it, it is still tacky after I cure it. Is there a reason for this? I use an led light and a lamp and it does it for both no matter how long I leave the pieces in there for. It's for both my older bottle, that didn't have issue when I bought it and my new bottle, that is the same brand as the other. Any advice would be much appreciated 🤗🤗
It could be that your resin is old and has oxidized to the point where it no longer cures properly. This happens with cheap uv resins.
There’s an easy fix for that, cure your piece normally under light for whatever amount of time you normally cure, and then grab a clear container, fill it with water and submerge your piece and cure it under water with uv light for 3-4 minutes. It will be hard, shiny and stickiness completely gone :D
interesting!
@@herahair8916 Have you tried this? Its unusual bc resins hate water and won't cure properly if theres too much moisture. You should do a video to show how this works bc UV resins being tacky after curing is a big problem for alot of ppl. I usually cure mine n if its still tacky after a long curing process then i will take it outside an let it sit in the sun for awhile n it really helps. I have a 36w lamp so resin shouldn't be tacky
@@LolaClark86 It’s an essential part of my UV routine now. I think the difference is that it’s not regular epoxy but UV one. I will definitely put up a video, I will let you know when I do :D
Why My doming is turing cloudy
Why do I still have a tacky layer to my resin even after coating them?
Maybe you didn’t mix/measure properly or you didn’t mix the minimum amount or there was moisture contamination
I used UV resin
@@SuperMAICHANG you didn’t cure it enough. Either your light source is too weak or the resin is old
Ahh okay ty so much
Hi, I hope you are still doing this as I see that this video is a couple years old. I tried using the link for the faux Rizzle nouveau and it does not work. I Googled it and it is no longer using the name faux Rizzle as its website. It's under a new name called countertop epoxy. There is something at the top of that web page that says faux Rizzle but when you click on it it only takes you to some epoxies that are for countertops and another one that is called Black Label epoxy. Do you know if they have stopped making the nouveau? If so, do you have a new product that you are using and like? Thank you
Yes I’m aware of their brand change. I didnt change it here because I didn’t think about it. Totally forgot about this video tbh lol. The black label resin is the noveau. I personally don’t care for that resin anymore as it yellows rather quickly. I haven’t worked with 2 part resin in a while but JDiction and Resin Rocker resin have great non yellowing peoperty.
@@AmyMade thank you!
mıstake 1 What is liquid substance?
Where can I purchase a doming mat?
Little window and the epoxy resin store sell then
@@AmyMade thank you
Where did you purchase that round disc that turn?
Wow I’ve never been first :,)
But yet you are doming round earrings?
Rounded edges not round shape.
bizarrely judgmental at the end but otherwise good content
I’m sorry you felt that way. Just stated my opinion based on many observations
